Player Watch Trent Bianco (Delisted 2023)

But isn’t his height about 5”10” ?

if so, not sure he’s even particularly small.

elliott might be of our smallest players hence, and he has so much talent and goal kicking ability it’s not even noticeable.

He is not a Midget like Blair
 
~TheScout~ thoughts:

How he got to Collingwood defies everything I understand about talent.
The club that I work for had him inside the top 20 and we desperately tried to get back into the draft to access him.

I saw him rack up 40+ v SA and he is every bit a top-end talent.
The only query is size (he's just shy of 180).

Absolute steal. Rapt that he's a pie.

He's alright. Not a speedster, probably about average I'd say. It's not a deficiency on the way he plays though. He's about a 3.09 20m sprint, and that can come down to close to three-flat with some work (a lot of players can do it over time, Noah Anderson went from 3.13 to 3.03 this year with coaching). But it's not a priority.

What fans will love is his ball use. Elite ball user and not one-sided dominant at that. Can use either foot.

That's the real key that makes a player look like they have more time and space (and look quicker) - it's much easier to make quick, correct decisions with your movement and with ball in hand when there are no limitations on where you can go with your disposal.

Interesting. Which club is he at now? There wouldn't be too many clubs without a pick before ours. Could probably narrow it down to only a few.
Ofcourse they could have had an earlier pick and still tried to get back in for Bianco.

He been a Nifty to have had in the PF as he would of hit a Target in Forward Line and not just Bombed away like most of our Players Did/Do
 
Rumours over the years has said it’s Jason Taylor.

and That is Based on what?

Well Melbourne could be 1 of the Team though they had a Pick at 32 to pick Bianco
